Deck Description

Changes from v1:

Removed the Hellion Crucibles (I never used them) and removed the Vexing Devils, they didn't work as often as I'd like.

Added the Boros Reckoners, finally we have an answer for Thragtusk and honestly, any other creature that's thrown at us. This card is crazy good.

How to Play

Same as before, drop creatures and attack with them, it's not rocket science but it's bloody good fun!

Deck discussion for RDW v2 (Post-Gatecrash)

I do wonder if I could run 22 Mountains to get another Pillar in, feels a bit lonely... I'll have to test!

Looks good, I'd say you could easily get away with 22 lands (perhaps even 21...) This deck even scares the crap out of my boros aggro if I'm on the draw.

Gazpoole, all is not lost for Boros! Remeber we can win in combat against RDW, and now we can side into Blind Obedience to stop haste and also give us a clear path to attack!

I would keep it at 23. Even if you get a little bit more mana than you want, it will simply let you cast both a burn spell and creature, or a Lightning Mauler and another creature to bond it with in one turn. Against other Aggro decks you will of course side into more burn spells. This is more or less what a top tier RDW deck looks like, and I agree Boros Reckoner is basically the 3 drop RDW was waiting for.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm REALLY looking forward to next Friday now, I should probably get started on the sideboard...

This is a really good RDW deck build. I agree with the higher lands. Keep them at least game 1. Mind checking out my Goblin based deck? http://www.mtgvault.com/swordofthedamned/decks/remake-of-standard-goblins/
